    Try squat down to lower your center of gravity. I enjoy hang 5s (with my back foot further back) more as i feel a bit more stable.

    4 seconds aint to shabby at high speeds.

    And more pictures....

    allowed and a loud are homonyms, not synonyms... Edit, I say!

    I feel it is easier to do if your trucks are moderately tight, because then you aren't flopping to one side or the other...

    You are allowed to have a loud speaker playing music aloud loudly. I hate to be a grammar nazi, but two 'fish unable to properly use aloud is a bit..... bad.

    The real trick is to try and keep your center of gravity right on your trucks. There should be a straight line from your hips down to the middle of your truck mounts. Then the key is to put just enough leverage on your nose to lift the back truck off the ground, then bending your knees you keep the nose pressured. I've been able to hold this for maybe (POINT) .7 or .9 seconds, but I've watched JP go around the entire freestyle rink.

    The key to hang-tens is to arch your back like Jenna Jameson, I used to be able to do them pretty well on my S9, havent tried them for a while. Also don't be afraid to go fast, it makes them easier and more stylish plus all the chicks will think you're cool.
